Check connections between the disk and the motherboard as well as the power connections. It is possible that there isn't actually anything wrong with the drive.
It is not possible for the average consumer to repair a hard disk drive. Drive electronics are not designed for repair and the mechanics require a clean room. To illustrated this, one particle of smoke is larger than the distance between the spinning platters and the read head. If a single speck of dust or lint were to get inside your disk drive it would cause irreparable and catastrophic failure of the read heads as well as gouging millions of bytes of data off of the platters.
It is possible that the drive may not be fast enough, incompatible with, or the operating system incompatible with (or not having proper drivers for) the CD-ROM Disk Drive.
yes the brake caliper has to fit into the wheel a smaller wheel may fit the lugs but wont go over the disk and caliper (or drum)
After awhile your disk drive cams will fail and therefore wont open or close the drive. You should stop slamming it shut and just press the button to close the drive.
you can format your drive from DOS, but once you do that you wont have an operating system and your computer will be useless.
If the disk has already been burnt then you can't do anything about it:(
if you have a mac, it wont work, if you have a PC then you insert the disk into a drive, then the installation should load. if it doesn't then try going on My Computer, then your disk drive that you put your Halo CD in, and it should load.
AnswerIt may be quite possible that your CD-Drive was not equipped with a +RW reading feature. The CD may not also be recognized due to an over excessive amount of scratches on the reverse side of the disk. Try checking your CD-Drive capabilities. Some CD-Drive disc readers may also only read DVD+R Disc's. That could also be why. The above is a terrible answer. Yes its possible but not likely that the drive is not capable of RWs, but most computers made in the last 7 or so years are. And there are no drives that will read DVDs only but NOT read CDRWs. Drives that could burn CDs came first, and later when the DVD writing drive came out they all had the ability to do CDs too.Also they never actually answer the question of why the drive wont recognize the RW discs if its supposed to but wont. Where do you get these people?
You cant because the disk is too hot so it wont except anything

What i did was i looked it up but it said to take the xbox apart because the laser was stuck..... but i wasnt about to take my whole xbox apart so i pressed the open/close button about 15 times and that worked for me..... hope it works for you
the fire wall and barrier between users on using the same disk drive. but seriously not to be mean or anything but I am only 12 and I know this. PS: don't try to hack into another directory it wont work. : (
Check your cables and the MA/SL/CS jumper on the hard drive. You may also want to clear and reset the BIOS. This has solved problems for me on GX series Dell computers.
